SUMMARY:From Character to Plot
DESCRIPTION:Prose Workshop with Tim MacGabhann\n\n\nIn partnership with the Irish Writers Centre. \nFeel frustrated with your story? It’s not because you don’t know what you want: it’s because your characters don’t. This workshop\, with author and poet Tim MacGabhann\, features exercises for getting to know your characters’ desires\, and setting them in motion\, therefore animating your short story or novel-in-progress. The way that this macro level of the story is borne out at the level of the sentence will also be considered\, with a view to producing cleaner and more transparent prose. \nPlease note we may be capturing candid imagery at this event for use on our social media and website. \nTim MacGabhann is the author of the novels Call Him Mine (2019) and How to Be Nowhere (2020)\, the memoir The Black Pool (2025)\, the short story collection Saints (2025)\, and the poetry collection Found in a Context of Destruction (2026). \nTo hear first about future Dublin Book Festival events sign up to our newsletter here.

SUMMARY:The Poem as Breath and Artefact
DESCRIPTION:Susan Connolly and Máighréad Medbh\n\n\nIn Susan Connolly and Máighréad Medbh’s new collections with Macha Press\, the forming of words is a living\, breathing process. Connolly’s Midwinter explores how names proliferate while still representing the same things. She will describe the evolution of the book from handmade concertina artefact to print. Medbh’s Dwelling is rooted in sound and rhythm. She will perform poems from the book and reflect on the roles of history and its erasure\, embodied walking\, reading and reimagining in her writing. \nWhile this event is free\, by making one of your tickets a ‘Supporter’s Ticket‘ you will be making a valuable contribution towards keeping future events accessible and towards the sustainable growth of Dublin Book Festival. \nPlease note we may be capturing candid imagery at this event for use on our social media and website. \nSusan Connolly was born in Drogheda\, Co. Louth where she still lives. She has published three full-length collections of poetry: For the Stranger (Dedalus Press\, 1993)\, Forest Music (Shearsman Books\, 2009) and Bridge of the Ford (Shearsman Books\, 2016).

POEM takes the form of a concertina book over 3 metres long. Her books have been displayed and sold at Dublin Art Book Fair and at Drogheda Zine Fair. \nMáighréad Medbh is a poet with nine published books and a reputation for compelling performance. Since her debut with Blackstaff Press in 1990\, she has performed widely in Ireland\, Europe\, the UK and US. Her poetic narrative of the Irish famine\, Tenant\, was initially published online and subsequently as a print book (Salmon\, 1999). She works mostly in long-form sequences or conceptual explorations\, and her ecological verse novel\, Parvit of Agelast (Arlen House\, 2016)\, was shortlisted for the 2017 Pigott Prize.

DESCRIPTION:Walking Tour with Michael Earley\n\n\nWith its beginnings in 1864\, Earley Studios grew to become the largest stained glass studio in Ireland.

He has given lectures on Irish stained glass with particular emphasis on his forebears’ studio often combined with tours of their work.

SUMMARY:No One Tells You
DESCRIPTION:Lunchtime Talk with Carlo Gébler\n\n\nIn partnership with the Irish Writers Centre. \nJoin author Carlo Gébler as he explores what sense is one to make of the death of another? Adopt the stoic position\, endure and learn? Accept death\, whatever else it is\, as educational? It often seems that’s what the culture would like us to do but in No One Tells You\, the Last Years of Edna O’Brien (New Island) Gébler’s tack is that death is an appalling diminution about which there is nothing good to be said. Hurt is hurt. Grief isn’t educational—it’s enlarging\, which is something else entirely. \nPlease note we may be capturing candid imagery at this event for use on our social media and website. \nCarlo Gébler’s most recent publications include I\, Antigone\, the biography of Oedipus as written by his daughter\, Antigone and A Cold Eye\, Notes from a Shared Island 1989 – 2024. His latest memoir is\, No One Tells You\, the Last Years of Edna O’Brien. Carlo has been a prison teacher since the mid-1990s. He teaches at Trinity College Dublin\, based in the Oscar Wilde Centre for Irish Writing. He is a member of Aosdána. \nTo hear first about our future events sign up to our newsletter here.

SUMMARY:Ideas On Tap (Lectures In Pubs)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a chat about ideas while having a pint. Meet new people\, learn about new things and try something different\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE WE EXPECT THIS TO SELLOUT FAST\, WHEN TICKETS ARE GONE – THEY ARE GONE! \nSomething different to do in Ireland? \nCome spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks\, meeting interesting people\, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else. \nThis is a live lecture and talk series taking place in pubs across Dublin\, Belfast\, Cork\, and Galway. Every event features a different speaker and theme\, covering everything from science\, history\, psychology\, philosophy\, politics\, film\, Irish culture\, and bizarre internet rabbit holes to cinema breakdowns\, existential questions\, and strange moments from history. \nOne night could be about Dublin history\, cult movies\, or the psychology of personality. Another could explore black holes\, political movements\, philosophy\, true crime\, science fiction\, or the weird side of human behaviour. \nAfter each talk there’s a live Q&A\, drinks\, conversation\, and a chance to meet new people who are curious about the world and up for a good night out that’s a little different from the usual pub routine.

SUMMARY:Words\, Stories and the Irish Way of Life
DESCRIPTION:Join Colm O'Regan and Páraic Kerrigan for a warm and witty conversation around their latest books\n\n\nWhat makes something quintessentially Irish? And what do the words we use\, the stories we tell and the cultural moments we remember reveal about us? \nJoin Colm O’Regan and Páraic Kerrigan for a warm\, witty and wonderfully Irish conversation inspired by their new books. In Tipping Away (Gill Books)\, Colm turns his attention to Hiberno-English\, exploring the words and expressions that have evolved through our workplaces\, homes\, pubs\, communities and everyday lives. In Pop Culchie (Eriu)\, Páraic delves into the oddities and eccentricities of Irish popular culture\, from Daniel O’Donnell and the Fat Frog to national moral panics\, forgotten pop acts\, unusual scandals and the curious history of Housewife of the Year. \nIn conversation with arts journalist Pat Carty\, they uncover the humour\, quirks and contradictions that make Irish culture so distinctive — and ask why we are\, quite simply\, the way we are. \n \nPáraic Kerrigan is an Irish Times bestselling author\, researcher and Assistant Professor at UCD. He was also a star in the smash hit second season of The Traitors Ireland\, where he was selected as a traitor. His expertise in Irish popular culture stems partly from academic study and partly from an unhealthy level of affection for Irish pop music and cult films. He maintains\, without irony\, that Fade Street and Dublin Wives are key national texts worthy of serious scholarly attention. He also believes that Six’s “There a Whole Lot of Loving” is one of the great\, overlooked achievements of Irish musical history. Following several unsuccessful attempts to become a pop star\, he turned to writing books instead. His previous book\, Reeling in the Queers\, was shortlisted for an Irish Book Award in 2024. \nColm O’Regan is an acclaimed Irish author and columnist\, known for his humorous explorations of Irish life and culture. He is the author of eight books\, including the Irish Mammies trilogy\, Bolloxology\, the Ann Devine novels and Climate Worrier. As a stand-up comedian\, MC and event host\, he has performed all over the world. He has written for and performed on TV and radio and has a weekly column for the Irish Examiner. He lives in Dublin\, but the language of his birthplace of Dripsey in Co. Cork is still very much in his heart. \nPat Carty is a freelance arts journalist and broadcaster whose work has featured in The Sunday Independent\, The Sunday Times\, The Irish Examiner\, The Irish Independent\, The Irish Times\, The Business Post\, Hot Press\, and Classic Rock Magazine. He’s a regular contributor on RTE Radio One’s Arena\, and on several Newstalk shows including The Hard Shoulder\, Moncrieff\, and Lunchtime Live. He’s turned up on television the odd time too but producers are unanimous in their opinion that his is a face for radio.
